From the Paper
"One of the most critical strategic challenges currently facing hospitals now and for the foreseeable future is the national nursing shortage. (Corning, 2002). The current nursing shortage is causing great concern and is expected to peak between the years 2010, and 2015 (Woods, & Cardin, 2002). According to Woods and Cardin 2002, "Unlike prior shortages, this one is not cyclical in nature and the solutions will require different and innovative approaches to avert a national public health crisis" (p.326). A great deal of attention has been paid to the root causes of the current and future nursing shortage; aging baby boomers, alternative professional opportunities for women (Woods, & Cardin, 2002), intense assignments, extra shifts, burn out, and little job satisfaction (Inglis, 2004)."

From the Paper
"Advanced Practice Nursing (APN) is a term that refers to registered nurses that have progressed in their nursing studies beyond the basics of the nursing field. APNs often must have a Master's Degree, or Doctorate, and are often the lead health care giver in preventative and primary care. This is especially true for APNs in the cases of rural health care, clinics for the poor, and for people without health insurance ("Advanced Practice"). APNs have the ability to provide the majority of health care services that the traditional physician would because their expertise through training is extensive. There are, however, restrictions placed on APNs with regard to prescriptions, and their range of ability to give medical care through government regulations ("Advanced Practice", 2005)."

The author points out that the scope of practice becomes wider as advanced degrees create an impressive variety of practice settings. The paper describes many types of advanced nursing, which can be completed at a university or online. The author stresses that nurses have an ethical demand to pursue advanced practices because of the professional principle of beneficence, which refers to doing well and working in the best interests of the patient and because of the more salient principle of autonomy. The author summarizes that an advanced level of nursing practice maximizes the use of in-depth nursing knowledge and skill for meeting the needs of the individual patient, family and the community.
From the Paper
"The Bachelor of Science in Nursing is a four-year baccalaureate degree program for non-nurses which leads to RN licensure. The baccalaureate degree is the minimum requirement for entry into professional nursing practice. This requirement resulted from the American Nurses Association's (ANA's) position paper requesting the baccalaureate degree as the minimum preparation for practice. The basis for that degree was the observation by the ANA of significant changes in the practice of nursing, which included important theoretical formulations, scientific discoveries, technological advances, and the development of new treatments."

Abstract
This paper discusses advanced practice nursing, defining advanced practice nursing, identifying the various specialty areas and comparing and contrasting two of the 6 identified (4 formal, 2 informal). The roles chosen for this paper are Educator and Clinical Nurse Specialist. Ultimately this paper discusses the need for greater recognition and delineation of roles, definitions and legislation on licensure (i.e., 8 states still don't recognize and license the clinical nurse specialist) and the need for insurance reimbursement to allow for greater practice opportunities.
From the Paper
"A cursory literature review of advanced nursing practices seems to vacillate on providing a fixed singular definition of advanced nursing practices; but they do agree on one point, they all encompass the following characteristics, some more than others depending on the role and environment: advanced clinical practice, advanced educational, advanced research, and advanced administrative responsibilities. While advanced education and degree designations often constitute a significant piece of the advanced practice nurse through specific labels, roles and responsibilities are more typically looked at. There are four main advanced practice nurse roles acknowledged in the medical world at large: Clinical Nurse Specialist, Midwife, Nurse Anesthetist and Nurse Practitioner."

The Advance Practice Nurse (APN), 2002.
This paper discusses the role of the advance practice nurse (APN) as consultant and manager in the acute care setting.
2,440 words (approx. 9.8 pages), 11 sources, APA, £ 51.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the acute care nurse practitioner (APN) performs four roles: educator, researcher, clinician, and consultant/manager. The APN's role as consultant/manager is perhaps one of the most important of the four because this role helps to improve the use of existing scarce resources. The author points out that, in the acute care setting, the APN management role includes taking histories, conducting physical examinations, ordering, performing and interpreting appropriate diagnostic and laboratory tests, prescribing pharmacological agents, treatments, and non-pharmacological therapies for the management of the conditions, which they diagnose. The paper stresses that the structure of the acute care APN's role will depend upon the collaborative agreement with physicians and other members of the acute care team and organizational setting.

Introduction
The Role as Consultant/Manager in an Acute Care Setting Implementation of APNs in Acute Care Settings
Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"The research also shows that once an APN has started the implementation process, it is vitally important to continue to solicit timely feedback from other staff members, patients and management. This feedback will help solidify productive interpersonal relationships and the overall health of the acute care operation. The experts on organizational change say that staff members must feel comfortable in providing feedback to their managers, and likewise, supervisors must learn how to share their perceptions of individual job performance in an accurate, clear and honest manner. Managers at all levels can facilitate the communication process in their organizations by ensuring that the process is one in which people are able to provide and receive feedback in an open, honest and constructive manner."

Advanced Practice Nursing, 2007.
An analysis of the direct and indirect competencies of the advanced practice nurse (APN).
2,114 words (approx. 8.5 pages), 8 sources, APA, £ 45.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the different competencies of an advanced practice nurse (APN) and how they are closely related to each other. The paper discusses direct care by the APN, as well as teaching and coaching. It discusses how these competencies have a direct impact on patient care. It also looks at how they impact the development of non-clinical competencies.
From the Paper
"While there are distinct advantages to the DNP program, there are disadvantages to its widespread implementation and possibly surpassing the masters in science in nursing (MSN) as the terminal degree. There is the possibility, as with all programs at the advanced degree level, that curriculum content may be in-depth in some areas while neglected in others. Another disadvantage is that, as an entry-level degree, DNP candidates may not possess adequate prior clinical experience that the APN candidate possesses, as it was also intended to attract individuals with non-nursing backgrounds. As a rigorous program that seeks to help candidates achieve end competencies, the clinically inexperienced DNP candidate may encounter "practical" knowledge gaps that may have to be covered by a longer course length."

"ADVANCED NURSING PRACTICE
Introduction
This research examines the issue of advanced nursing practice with a goal of identifying the implications of this trend in practice for both professional nursing and health care delivery. The prospects for significant health care reform in the United States, the growth of the managed care concept, and changing composition of both patient and nursing populations are driving the trend in relation to advanced practice nursing (Donley, 1995, p. 84).

Abstract
This paper looks at nursing and obstetrical nursing and investigates what agencies police and design the curricula for these fields. The State Boards of Nursing and the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission are examined and the policies and standards that they set are discussed as well as the required curriculum content and development they oversee. Their impact upon curriculum development and revision is also reviewed.
From the Paper
"In the arena of nursing, there are so many specialties, so many fields, so many types of nurses, that there must be governing and regulatory bodies. Without such organizations that regulate and control nursing and nursing education programs, there would not be a singular and uniform set of expectations for this nation's nursing professionals. The two organizations that will be discussed in regard to how they influence the regulation of nursing, and more specifically how they could influence obstetrical nursing, are the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) and the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). The first of the two governing agencies that this paper will discuss and investigate is the NCSBN."
